Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002D Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1025(h)(2)(ii):Shoveling, sweeping or brushing methods were used to remove lead accumulations where vacuuming or other equally effective methods were available and feasible: (a) Tactical Training Center, LLC. 10A Minneakoning Rd. Flemington, NJ 08822. On or about 2/12/2024 and thereafter, employee(s) were exposed to toxic airborne lead during weekly cleaning duties in the back room at the rear of the firing lanes (ports) of the gun range using a dry broom and dust pans to sweep up brass casings, lead powder and bullet fragments off the floor inside the dust collecting unit room. Personal exposure monitoring for airborne lead (Pb) dust was conducted by OSHA on 2/26/2024 and again on 3/09/2024 during dry sweeping of the back area of the ports using broom and/or dust mop. OSHA's 2/26/2024 sampling measured employee exposure at 3.8 milligrams per cubic meter during 128 minutes of sampling, with zero exposure assumed for the balance of the 480-min work shift. Sampling on 3/09/204 measured employee exposure at 51 milligrams per cubic meter during 88 minutes of sampling, with zero exposure assumed for the balance of the 480-min work shift. These measured exposures represent 2000% and 18000% respectively of the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 0.05 milligrams per cubic meter as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). Employee(s) were exposed to health hazard(s) of toxic lead (Pb) inhalation.
